7 Things to Put on Rust to Stop it from Manav Pietro's blog

This info-graphic titled ‘7 Things to Put on Rust to Stop it’ provides us an overview of prevention of rust. Rust is the name for the reddish-brown flakes of iron oxide that form on the surface of any metal holding iron that is exposed to air and water. It is a type of corrosion that can be extremely destructive. The rusting process starts out when iron reacts with oxygen in the presence of water, saltwater, acids, or other rough chemicals. As the iron oxide flakes off the surface of the metal, it unwraps fresh iron molecules, which continue the reaction procedure. Eventually, sizable areas of rust form that may cause the entire metal structure to decompose.

Commercially available industrial rust prevention products in the form of aerosol sprays or cloth wipes can shield metal objects, including tools, outdoor gear, vehicles, and huge metal parts.Because rust outspreads quickly, it's all-important to scrape it off as soon as it comes out. Start with scrubbing with warm water and soap and apply a metal conditioner or other protective coating to prevent further oxidation thereafter. If needed, apply a new coating of paint to the area.For more information, please refer to the info-graphic below.
